Will we get a datetime.now()?

My usecase is that I produce a timeline. After a certain cut-off time later in the day, I already want to produce tomorrow’s version.

I don’t really care whether this produces a full datetime or only a time. For completeness’ sake a parameter could decide that.

N.b.: currently I have to remember to pass in an --input to differentiate the time of day, which I find error prone.

There is this issue about your exact question:

From the comment:

I’ll keep this issue in mind and might reconsider in the future, but I feel like the discussion here is going nowhere. The substantial arguments have been made, so there’s not much of a point to continue going in circles here.

we can conclude that it’s essentially a very low priority.

Your OS should be able to provide a command for this.
